Grateful, Thankful....Thanksgiving!

As always, Thanksgiving was full of family and great food...thanks to Grandma! But this year in particular made me really reflect on all that I am thankful for in my life. I have come to realize that as little as I think I have at times or as hard as times get once in a while, my life is truly a blessing and my heart is full, and I do have so much! I am forever thankful for having such a beautiful, sweet, and charismatic baby boy. We are so blessed to have Jonah in our lives, to fill our days with laughter and our hearts with love. I am also lucky to have a loving husband who is such a caring and playful father. The giggles that fill our home when Jonah and "Daddy" play are songs in my ears! I am so grateful for the supportive and loving family that surrounds us.

We got to spend lots of time with my family, including "Auntie" Leah who was home for the long Thanksgiving weekend and hadn't seen Jonah since the summer. He warmed up to her pretty quickly and she got to see how much he's grown both physically and socially. Jonah interacts and expresses himself so much more now which makes playing together lots of fun...

The rest of the long weekend was filled with more festivities..it was Jimmy's 4oth Birthday. To celebrate we hosted lunch with my family and then got out with friends later that evening. That was lots of fun and good to get out on our own for a little while! The following evening both Grandma and Grandpa watched Jonah again so that my siblings along with Jimmy and I could get out to see the Tampa Bay Lightning game. Ice hockey is always exciting to watch live. Wow, out two nights in a row, it's been while!
As hard as it is getting a few good photos with a very busy toddler...we tried!

Jonah's 2nd Thanksgiving!

Like I said, a busy boy....
Jonah even played the piano with Leah
